Walker Brothers Quarries
Walker Brothers Quarries is located on the Niagara Escarpment on the border of Niagara Falls and Thorold. It is our oldest quarry being active and under our ownership since 1887.
The Gasport and Goat Island members of the Lockport formation are being extracted to supply the local asphalt, concrete, and road construction markets.
Limestone products range from large armour stone (5+ tonnes) to Limestone fines. Limestone’s natural beauty and durability make it a popular choice for other markets such as home construction, erosion control, and landscape projects.
Manufactured sands are produced to support the needs of the asphalt market as well as the need for ‘ice control sand’ in the winter months. Manufactured sand at this location is processed through a ‘dry classification, process verse the more common ‘wet’ classification system.
This quarry predominately supplies the large demand for local road construction projects.
The rehabilitation plan for this property is to locate approved landfill cells and put the overburden soils back on site to promote agricultural crops in other areas.
